Baker/VanVleet - Baker/VanVleet

Fair enough. I didn't think about the recent Player of Week.

Carry on

Also, Fred became the second player in MVC history to record 1000 points, 500 assists, and 400 rebounds. The first was Jake Odum.

These two are a once-in-a-generation combination, like Pippen and Jordan, but are better friends than Michael and Scottie were. Maybe an equal comparison is Antoine Carr and Cliff Levingston or Xavier McDaniel and Aubrey Sherrod.

Fred was on last night's post game show. I wish everybody could have heard the mini-interview.

Fred is just a special person. The right stuff.

Here's a tweet from Todd Golden, the Indiana State beat writer. In his opinion VanVleet is a better player than Mcdermott.

there's an interesting followup quote from Jim Crews, "Everyone else on the court is playing checkers. VanVleet is playing chess."

Why?

AAAhhh... They wouldn't give to Egidijus Mockevicius for the 5th time this early in the season? he is off to an unbelievable start to MVC play averaging 21.5 points and an 18.5 rebounds per game

perhaps I was mistaken

Give the weekly individual honors to those in second place or lower in the standings. Fred wants another championship and he's well on his way to getting it.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Wichita State's Fred VanVleet had a perfect day.

He tied a school record by making all 15 of his free-throw attempts and kept the Shockers unbeaten in Missouri Valley Conference play.

The senior guard scored a career-high 32 points and became the first Shockers player since 1963 to go 15 of 15 from the free-throw line while leading No. 22 Wichita State to a 78-65 victory at Evansville.

"We knew that it was going to take a very good effort to win here," coach Gregg Marshall said. "Fred was awesome in his role."

VanVleet went 8 of 18 from the field with four rebounds, three blocks and two steals in what may have been the toughest game left on the Shockers' schedule.
